Looking to build a computer for around 1.5-2k MAX

[Sweetshart]

Looking to build a PC that can run every game at ultra settings with 60 FPS or higher at 1920 x 1080 resolution, Even games like Tera/Rust which is very cpu heavy e,c,t

Not looking to run crysist at max settings and i don't want to watercool my pc nor do i want 4k

Last note - It doesn't have to be 1.5k-2k, it can be less

What do you mean? like where i live and how i get my money?

[Beardface31]

Haha, no. Just what currency; like USD, CAD etc. And what state; if you want to buy things locally.

Well its pretty simple really..

Windows 10 64bit

an i5 or an i7 Unlocked

a Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler, or similar

a Z170 based motherboard

16GB DDR4, speed varies with the motherboard and how much you want to pay

an SSD with a 1TB or 2TB HDD, the SSD should be no less than 250GB

a GTX 1070 or 1080, either will do for 1080p

a Decent case with good cooling, a Corsair 750D or 900D will do the trick, depending on how much you want to spend on a case and how much room you have available.

a 650w-750w Powersupply, XFX, EVGA, Ultra and Corsair are some brands to choose from, i prefer EVGA myself.

I would choose a USB CD/DVD drive instead of an Internal one. They are rarely used nowa days and it'll help keep the clutter inside the case down.

This is basically a basic setup someone will do for you on pcpartpicker.

this is a good build for 1.5k but if you do change out any parts i would change power supply to a gold plus and add more ssds

For 1.5k you can add a 1080 and i7-6700k easy the rest is simple

or if you are like me.

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/rWn6BP less practical 1080p up to 180hz on the monitor (the monitor can overclock) much more eye candy.

All he needs is 1080p, which he already has a monitor.
That second link does the trick, but its a tad expensive imo
Though i like ASUS boards myself

well were in the 2000$ range you can get a gtx 1080 and 1440p monitor for that price but hey whatever he picks

Interesting responses.
My thoughts.

If you do not care about your privacy, then go for windoes 10, otherwise windows 7.

A 120-240 GB SSD for the operating system.
Also the smallest/cheapest SSD you can find to cache a 2 TB drive for your games. It will help loading times and respnsivness in some games.

Another hard drive, say 1 TB for regular backups, with that drive also backed up externally. Macrium reflect is good free choice of software to use for backups.

Maybe think about a gsync 144 Hz monitor for gaming. Much smoother that 60 Hz standard. a GTX 1070 would be a good GPU match it seems.

For memory, get 2 x 8 Gb sticks, leaving room for memory upgrades later if needed.

Make sure the motherboard has good quality onboard sound.

That privacy bs that people complain about with Win10 is EASILY resolved

Second, Win7 support ENDS IN FOUR YEARS so Win10 will have to be installed at some point anyway, so may as well get it over with.

120GB SSD is too small, no less than 250GB should be used.

Yo how is it easily solved help a bro out

Windows 10 will give your best performance not to mention the ability to play newer games and use the latest computer components as more and more need win 10.

It takes a quick google search, they steal more of your info then win 10 ever does, to how to disable those options in win 10.

Spybot Anti Beacon is one
But the main one being, actually going into the settings and disabling certain features.

As one that LOVED Windows 7, i like Win10 more. And being as Win10 may just be the last OS for a while, you dont really have a choice once Win7's and Win8s extended support ends.
